On Saturday, Cristiano aided his case – being the world’s greatest player – by scoring a brace against Juventus in the Champions League final to win the title for a second consecutive year. That in itself was a record, but mentioning every single feat set in the final would need a separate article.
Instead, we break down the 32-year-old superstar’s amazing numbers. His two goals past Buffon were his 405th and 406th in a Los Blancos jersey. The Portuguese superstar has an astonishing 600 career goals, 406 of which came at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo, who won the first of his four Ballon d’Ors at Man United, scored 118 goals during his days with the Red Devils. His Old Trafford days were very successful, winning three Premier Leagues, an FA Cup, two League Cups, his first Champions League title, and a FIFA Club World Cup under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Cristiano won only his second league title in Spain this season, but his three Champions League titles with Les Merengues makes up for that. The 32-year-old has also enjoyed two Copa del Rey and FIFA Club World Cup triumphs.
He ended his nation’s trophy drought by aiding their Euro 2016 win. Their captain now has 71 goals for the national side, the most by a single player in the country’s history. Check out the best numbers from his record-breaking career.
